Applicants are invited to apply for the 2027 Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) Artist-in-Residence (AiR) program in Lead, South Dakota.

The SURF AiR program provides opportunities for artists to create work inspired by the Sanford Underground Research Facility, which is set in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. SURF’s unique location and history make it an ideal place for creative work. At 4,850 feet deep, SURF is the deepest underground laboratory in the United States and is located in the former Homestake Gold Mine. The facility houses world-class experiments in physics, biology, geology, and engineering. The SURF AiR program leverages the unique characteristics of SURF and the science experiments it hosts to create awareness and encourage interdisciplinary work. 

The residency includes a four-week summer visit, a fall exhibition and lecture, a $5,000 stipend, up to $5,000 in additional project funding, as well as travel, housing, and related expenses.
